Your Favorite Guitar Solo Ever is...

[CowboyDan]

I love guitars and I love everything Eddie Van Halen does. Eruption is just incredible.

But I think my favorite solo within the confines of a song is Slash's solo in Sweet Child. It has everything I've ever asked for in a solo....slow bending notes, increasing pace to a fever pitch, followed by screaming high notes, tons of wah pedal, and a sweet little breakdown at the end. Perfection. If I could pick one solo to have as my own creation, this would be it.....what is yours?

If it is within a song and not a stand alone piece...

Mr Crowley Randy R. (live version)
Rainbow in the Dark - Vivian Campbell
Tooth and Nail - George Lynch
Comfortably Numb David Gilmour

 

[RS12]

Green Grass and high tides Outlaws live circa 77, Skynyrd Freebird Allen Collins era

 

[YosemiteSam]

I refuse to answer. I see no point is beating myself up trying to figure it out. I will just enjoy all the ones I like and not worry about it.

 

[Seven]

One of my favorites. Rainbow in the Dark - Ronnie James Dios' guitarist. Forgot whom it was......


Gary Richwrath (sp?) from REO had some good melodic stuff.


Alex Lifeson is a magician, IMO.

Comfortably Numb
Since I've Been Loving You
Sultans of Swing.
We Used To Know.
